Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed in NE Missouri...
Ion-selective electrodes for simultaneous real-time analysis for soil macronutrients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Automated sensing of soil macronutrients (i.e., N, P, and K) would allow more efficient mapping of soil nutrient variability for variable-rate nutrient management. This study reports on the development of a sensor array consisting of three different...
Detection of cold flow properties of diesel and biodiesel fuel using optical sensor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Identification of cloud point for biodiesel fuel can be used to optimize the performance of biodiesel fueled vehicles in cold weather. Cloud point is the temperature at which the smallest cluster of wax crystal is observed ...
A novel PCR based DNA microanalyzer system for detection of viral genome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
A micro-fluidic assay to quickly analyze microscopic samples of DNA is being developed for field applications. It consists of a micro-PCR chamber, micropumps, and micro-heaters. Additional components of the device include ...
